Alright, I've got a stupid question. This is a Japanese creation (not this physical mock-up, but the whole idea of the thing), right? If so, why is all the writing on it in English?

@Daniel Because the writing on it in the cartoon was in English (at least in the series that had enough on-screen detail).

But if it was a Japanese cartoon, why was it in English? This is what I do not understand.

The Gundam was fielded by a multi-national government (The Earth Federation). So, like the UN, they used English as a common language.

Keep in mind that although this is from a cartoon, it was aimed at intelligent teenagers and therefore made an effort at being at least somewhat believable.

Its Tomino. Everything he does uses English as the primary language except when dealing with the Chinese. Even in Japan, they used English. Amaro himself was half American. It can be pretty funny sometimes.

Look at the story line for the One Year war. It's WWII without the Japanese. White base was made by an uninvalled (not the Federation) third part (US) and made a ship with the red white and blue (with a bit of green) color scheme. Among the crew, only two were Japanese, and one of them died. Of course everything in the V project would be in English, they represent America.
